Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium sweet potatoes
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon pickling spice
1 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup golden raisins
8 ounces fresh chorizo, casings removed
2 tablespoons pine nuts
Chopped fresh mint, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and microwave on a microwave-safe plate until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pickling spice and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 1 minute. Transfer the spiced oil to a mini food processor and pulse until the pickling spice is finely ground, about 1 minute. Transfer the spiced oil to a medium bowl and stir in the yogurt, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; set aside.
  • Soak the raisins in 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the pine nuts and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Transfer the chorizo mixture to a bowl. Drain the raisins and stir into the chorizo mixture.
  • Arrange the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper; rub to coat evenly. Roast until the potato skins are crisp, about 10 minutes. Split open the sweet potatoes and fluff the flesh with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Top with the chorizo, yogurt sauce and mint.

Provided by BearForce

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo sausage, casings removed
2 1/4 cups all-purpose baking mix (such as Bisquick)
1 (8-oz.) pkg. pre-shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup chilled mashed roasted sweet potato
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons plum jam or scuppernong jelly
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Roll into 48 (1 1/2-inch) balls, and place about 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until sausage balls are cooked through and deep golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir together jelly and mustard in a small bowl until well blended. (If your jelly is too stiff to blend, microwave mixture at HIGH in 15-second increments until soft enough to stir.)

(You may need to add 1 or 2 minutes to baking time.)

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Tips:

  • For a crispier bite, use a large skillet or grill pan so the sweet potatoes have plenty of room to spread out and brown evenly.
  • If you don't have chorizo sausage, you can substitute another type of spicy sausage, such as Italian sausage or kielbasa.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to taste. If you like things spicy, add more cayenne. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
  • Serve the sweet potato and chorizo sausage bites with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

These sweet potato and chorizo sausage bites are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that are perfect for any occasion.
